hi i’m new at this, i didnt even know things like this existed, but i’m already so grateful to have come across it. i really thing this will be what will finally give me that “push” that i need to get out for good. im 24, ended a two year relationship 5 months ago and haven’t been able to really get out of it. as i’ve been reading, seems like he was a narcissist or maybe antisocial, i’m not so sure. the point is that i went through hell and back, and i hope i can help anyone who is living similar situations and help them get through it.
thanks for existing!

HI Everyone… I am trying to understand NPD and how to survive… it is very hard for me… I have loved a man for 18 years and have been cut out of his life again… so he can move forward with a new romance … I am hurt and don’t understand how he can move forward in one day… I need help and to know I am not alone… I am new to these websites and hope it will help me…
I live in the northeast and suffer from seasonal depression. I basically hibernate from november until april. Besides moving, I’d really like to talk to people about how they’ve conquered their depression. I’m a really cynical person and depression has got me beat 
I have been married (now seperated due to his arrest for assualting me) 8 years to a sufferer of a man with NPD. It is a shattering experience. If you click my profile… you will find my story there. It is such an exhausting and tormenting experience. I hope that I can recover from the false-self he charmed me with and quit romantisizing and missing this pretend guy that won my love. Underneath what he pretended to be lives a monster. My world has been ripped out from under me by his own hand. They are liars, cheaters, ragers, and will torment your very soul to no end. It is catastrophic the way with which this NPD sufferer has manipulated me and others, and you can’t trust ANYTHING about them… life for them is all about themselves and they will resort to any means to get what ever stupid thing they want. They ar Jeckyll and Hyde, the chamelion, the shape-shifter, the Sybil’s, and are actually “John Doe’s” that make up a new persona for whatever occasion life presents that makes a new person necessary. Be so afraid of these people!!!
know more than I ever wanted to know about it from living it with a husband and a son. Still recovering from it all
Hello all,
I am new here and only now learing about NPD. My son whom I lived with for one year has disowned me because I dared to confront him about a lie he told about me, he then tried to cover that lie with a another lie and I told him I did not believe him. He assaulted his sister when she told him off for his bad behaviour … I moved out of his house into my daughter’s house and in hindsight, did not move out all my stuff quick enough because he has now hijacked 95% of my belongings, changed the locks on the doors and gate and now I must resort to taking him to court to try and retrieve at least some of my “CRAP” as he calls it. He is a 50yo grown adult with 3 sons of his own.
I am still in shock!
My children and I just escaped from a four year marriage I had with a woman who has NPD. I have not been able to find a local support group and look forward to being able to connect with other people who have similar experiences.
Hello,
I am a victim of being Narcissistically abused for nearly 4 years now and still have not been able to move on, although I know what and who he is at this point. I still love him and have this hope hell change and love me, but know that wont ever happen 
Bless you all I understand your pain.
I was narcissistic myself until I got in a relationship with a true narcissist. He broke my heart, but I realise I had a lucky escape. It also made me take a good look at myself.
Narcissists are very exploitive and do not care for anyone. They are only interested in people who pay them constant attention and accept their abuse with an open heart. Deep down they want approval and acceptance, and so the worse they treat you, the better they feel when you stick around.
You do not want to let him go, but honestly, once you are over the heartbreak, you will look back and realise how pathetic he is.
Walk. Away. Before. He. Does.

Just joined. Going by SarahX. Not my real name. I had an encounter with a someone who has NPD. Not romantic, rather this person approached me for a business relationship. We have severed ties because he failed to knock me down despite the controlling and abuse.
However, I consider him a menace to myself and the community and I need some feedback on what to do and what not to do.
Hello all! I am so happy to be here to help anyone I can. I was in a “romantic” relationship with a man diagnosed with NPD. I have had issues with co-dependance. But have spent 4 yrs with a good consoler, and am so much better. I had no children with this man. Lived with him in his house, trying to make the relationship “work”. He went to therapy, TO FIX ME! Thats what he told the phyc. After 4 sessions of couple therapy he quit and the dr told me all about his NPD. I still stuck it out for 3 yrs after, but did my therapy and research in that time. So it is possible. I am 3 yrs out of that relationship. And am not only healthy but HAPPY! I am a sucess story. You can be as well, anything I can do to help you I will.
I’m recovering from 20 years with a NPD person. I have support, but have never found support about the specifics about the narcissistic abuse I suffered.
Hello, everyone. I just found this board and I want to write and tell you that there IS life and happiness when you get yourself out of the clutches of a Narcissist!
In my case, it was a female boss. We were not just co-workers, but friends (I thought) – until my excellent work brought in a big account, I got a lot of attention, and she started the process of tearing me down. This went on for years; I did not know what kind of demon I was dealing with. I finally quit (it was a high-paying position, too) and it has taken me YEARS to re-build my self-esteem.
I am writing to tell you that it is your very WORTH as a human being – your goodness and your shining life force – that the Narcisstic vampire wants to destroy! You ARE a wonderful person – or they would not have targeted you!
Get away, don’t look back and most importantly, do NOT let their sniping define you. Remember that Eleanor Roosevelt said that “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Break away and re-build – you can do it!
